Happy Sunday! I'm here as normal with my weekly recap of marathon training. If you missed it, be sure to check out my last post about our recent trip to Antarctica HERE. Here's how training went this past week: Monday: Marathon Monday in Boston! I got up at the same time as Dustin (who was running the Boston marathon) and worked from the hotel for a bit before heading out for my own run. Continue Reading
Weekly Recap: 4 Weeks Until the Brookings Marathon!
Happy Sunday! I'm in Boston right now, getting ready to cheer for Dustin at the marathon tomorrow. It's shaping up to be a much better day weather-wise than last year! It's so fun to be here without the nerves and the stress of racing tomorrow. :) I had my fair share of that in 2017! But seriously, I don't think I have ever travelled only to spectate/cheer and I think it's going to Continue Reading

After 50 miles on the treadmill last week, running outside in the Continue Reading

Weekly Recap: 5 Weeks Until the Antarctica Marathon
5 weeks until Antarctica! I'm still feeling really nervous about posting about it, or even letting myself get too excited. After all, I'm publishing posts with the same title that I wrote a year ago... Fingers crossed that the next 5 weeks are healthy and injury-free! A few people have given me a hard time about not getting outside to run when I'm supposedly training for Continue Reading
Weekly Recap: 6 Weeks Until Antarctica!
Hello, hello! I'm here with my usual weekly recap, this time counting down to the Antarctica Marathon! I have to admit, I am a little superstitious about counting down to Antarctica after what happened last year. (If you're new here, I was 3 weeks out when I broke my leg and couldn't go.) It all feels very familiar to be counting down again to the same trip. I really hope I'm not setting myself Continue Reading
